METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE COURSE OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN PREGNANT WOMEN Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01N33/68 G01N33/50 C12Q1/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pulmonology, and is intended for predicting the course of bronchial asthma (BA) during pregnancy.
